But the students grow angry over the carnival cancellation, and Hank, Peggy, Kahn and Minh slip away to set up the delivered but unassembled carnival equipment. The kids emerge from the forced assembly to enjoy the carnival with their parents and Hank reminds Bobby that nothing of the past is Bobby’s fault. Meanwhile, Hank, Luanne and the guys try to force Lucky to go to a hospital after he catches a Frisbee made of barbed wire.
